A bit belated but -- the final stress test is now over.

This concludes our stress test events for the competitive beta. Another big thanks to everyone who participated in the tests.

Have a good weekend!

Hey everyone,

We've just turned on the 11th, and final, stress test. The competitive beta will be wrapping up in the coming days -- and we'll be running the stress test until then. So get in there!

Thanks to everyone who helped us test.

Stay tuned!

Stress Test #10 is live now!

The primary change we are testing is late joins -- if a player drops prior to the round starting, the game will pull new players in from the queue rather than forcing everyone out. The game server may still give up after about two minutes if no players are available.

We've also fixed a number of bugs related to erroneous abandon penalties and failing to join games.

So get in there, and let us know how it goes!

There was a bug introduced in the update earlier today causing matches to have incorrect settings from other gamemodes, including Mannpower. It should now be fixed.

If you are having account issues or believe your account or system to be compromised you need to head to Steam Support.

This is not the right forum.

This is most likely due to a custom HUD or P-REC being installed, see: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/tfcompetitive/discussions/0/405693392927698879/

Are you queuing for the competitive beta or MvM? I only see one party in queue for that long recently, and they are looking for a specific MvM mission.

If you are seeing this bug, it would be helpful to have:
- The exact time at which it occurred
- Any console output from the time, including the IP of the server you were attempting to connect to
- Any relevant information about how you were connecting (in a party, alt-tabbed, etc)

Thanks!

You will need to have a phone number added to your account in order to access the competitive beta.
